TALKING THINGS
Should Be Followed by Doing.
At the afternoon session after the
close of the talks on an open river G.
A. Westgate, H. S. Westbrook and W
3. McFadden were appointed a com
mittee on a memorial to congress.
Prof. F. G. Young, of the U. of O.
gave an able address on the relation of
higher education to development, show
ing now tne university is a great facul
ty in the upbuilding of the state and
deserves a place in all development
deliberations.
One of the best talks of the convent
ion was bv President H. M. Crooks, of
Aibany College in which he showed
that the higher the education of a state
the greater the producing powers,
backincr it with figures. He made a
strong argument for raising the standard
of the public schools, high scnuuls,
normal schools, colleges and universi
ties. F. F. Senn, of Silverton gave a bright
talk on the progress of his home town.
The evening session was called to
order by the President, with a fair at
tendance of delegates and citizens.
Upon motion P. L. Campbell, F. M.
Peery and Walter Lyon were appointed
a committee on resolutions and immedi
ately reported a resolution asking Port
land to grant a franchise to the Wil
lamette Traction Co., which was ordered
telegraphed President Hogue of the
Chamber of Commerce.
An Albany quartet. Messrs. Hammer,
Steele, Irvine and Nelson were heard
in a song. En:ored.
At this place the Chairman invited
the Candidates for State offices to
take a seat on the platform, and the
following were willing to maKe a circus
of themselves: T. T. Geer, Dr. Withy
combe and C. A. Johns, renublician
candidates for governor, W. L. Tooze j
for congressman and A. C. Jennings
for State treasurer.
Hon. J. K. Weatherford spoke on
Linn County, one of the oldest in the
state, paying a tribute to the men who
founded it and built it up. Linn County
has 2500 square miles, in it about 2500
farms and 25000 people. There is
probably 20,000,000,000 feet of timber
m this county, eventually to bring$t60.
000,000 to this county, worth more than
all the farming land in the valley.
Now only about 200,000 feet a day is
being made into lumber. From the
mountains is coming down 250,000 horse
power, going to waste. Millions in
gold and other minerals await being
taken out. These suggest immense
possibilities and great improvements.
Albany with its 6,000 people has a
splendid start and will advance in the
general progress.
Wallis Nash spoke on the Corvallis &
Eastern R. R. He first met the people
of Albany 26 Jyears ago. Four years
before he first became interested in
Oregon. In its fullest developments
there will be three railroad lines through
Oregon. He referred to the delays,
but gave hope of final success. The
speaker gave his introduction to Ya
quina and the work afterwards done
there by the government. The last re
port was 17 1-2 feet at low water and a
a rise of 7.10 feet at lull tide. He
thinks it could be made into a harbor
second to none on the coast. The rail
road proposition was a line of 520 miles
in four sections. He considers the
Santiam pass the best in the Cascades.
The road was started on faith and not
on actual business ahead. The speaker
failed to tell why woik was stopped
after the raising of about $15,000,000
capital of which only a part was used
I in railroad construction.
I F. J. Miller spoke on the value of a
pay roll, giving facts to show how a
j pay roll builds up a city, stimulating
trade and adding greatly to the wealth
1 of a community. It is an advertising
medium. Albany nas eighteen strictly
manufacturing establishments with a
pay roll of $15,000 to $20,000 a month.
She has a spirit of progress that is
bound to bring her prosperity. Pros
pective institutions besides the rebuild
ing ot the woolen mill, are a saw mill,
cannery and hospital.
Another song by the quartet was
loudly encored.
Mayor Chas. Grissen of McMinnville
spoke on civic improvements in a happy
vein. Not dollars and cents but the
character of citizenship is greatest for
a community. The speaker showed the
influence of beauty and utility in resi
dences, lawns and streets in the im
provement of a city. Public squares
were urged. School grounds should be
decorated. Turning the subject he re
ferred to the manner in which Oregon
ians used everything manufactured
elsewhere instead of things made here.
Home industries should be better sup
ported. Incidentally Mr. Grissen advertised
his O. F. R. Insurance Co.
i

Paul Shoup, of the trail c department
of the Harriman lines, spoke on rail
road prospects. Great progress was
promised the coming two years. About
$12,000,000 have already been arpro
priated for work and the S. P. line is
oeing reconstructed. Every bridge will
be steel. $2,000,000 is being spent for
reconstruction, and the road will be

.ives will be in service between Ashlai d

'or servue. The new equipment v. ill
ost about $600,000.
The Will imeUe valley is given thf
loweit rite in the country for distance
travel! .-d and the road appreciates the
great traffic of it. A fair treatment is
expected. Freiirht tonnage must he in.
creased to meet the expenditures being
made. $100,000 is now being spent for
auvtsrusuig in Dnnging ousincss nere.
A comparison was made with the re
sources of Iowa, showing a vast differ
ence, but with a great development
possible for Oregon in agricultural de
velopment. Here the acreace of imnrovomenr. is
38 to 88 ner cent in Iowa. Whenr ia

in offering great possibilities, far ahead

SATURDAY.
GET-THERE AND STAY THERE.
Sam Jones Gave A Crowd Their
Money's Worth.
One who heard Arthur Frazer, of
Eugene, in the recital given by Mrs. P.
A. Young and Mrs. H. L. Hopkins,
says:
"His program was varied and unique.
The first number, Schuman's "Carne
val," was made especially interesting
l. . . il. 1 ....... .. i ... : i .
fore the sketches were played, and, in
deed, Mr. Frazer is a Schumann player
par excellence. The Ballade in G.
Minor, by Chopin, which itself is an en
ormous selection, was exceedingly well
done, and the Chopin mazurkas, so char
acteristic of thePolish peasant life, wer3
among the best things of the evening.
The other piano numbers were an Etude
waltz bv Chopin, and the difficult
Tcchaikowski Liszt Polonaise from the
opera "Onegin." Mr. Frazer pays the j
AlDany musical people a great compli
ment when he says that he has seldom
played to a more sympathetic audience.
This may be due to Mr. Frazer's ability
as a pianist."
